Well This Is Life

Well this is life


Anticipating a pleasant romantic meet,
then eagerly waiting for him to greet,
Palpitations at last going more fast,
end of the day leaving me aghast !
Well that's what life is ??

Hard work and burning midnight oil,
sweet desires as if destined to foil,
Whatever pleasant I proposed,
hard time cruelly disposed,
That's what life is !

If I stood in one queue, the other moved quick,
was kind to someone who gave me a flick,
My passion that was misconstrued,
Kept me unwontedly ever glued,
Well that's what life is ??

Why such a long life ?
and so much of strife ??
